1. To improve business processes

However don't just rely on our opinion as the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) has the following to say on the subject:

"New opportunities
Certification bodies can bring a wealth of knowledge to a company during the certification process and this can lead to new opportunities and savings that had not been recognised previously"

"Save Money
When you use a UKAS accredited certification body you are buying into appropriate technical expertise and knowledge. Use a non-accredited certification body and you run the risk of having systems imposed on your company that are inappropriate and not necessarily cost effective. Whereas, an accredited certification body can provide you and your customers with the assurance that your management systems comply with international standards and in addition there is no risk of having to seek re-certification"

"Minimise risk
One of the key reasons a company seeks ISO 9001 registration is to increase competitiveness and to secure new orders by demonstrating its capability and fitness for purpose. However, if the certificate has been issued by a non-accredited certification body, the tender may still be rejected. The Ministry of Defence, for instance, when it requires its suppliers to be ISO 9001 certificated, prefers that the certification has been undertaken by a certification body accredited by UKAS or a signed signatory to the International Accreditation Forum Multi-Lateral Agreement"
